(678) 788 4979 ANSWER: good meeting you and thanks for the advice on playing "plain old..." Have a great time in Mississippi! QUESTION: I can really relate to a lot of your songs... about racing thoughts and just disappearing for a while. I've tried to escape my mind in a way, and your music has helped. I don't know your personal life, but i do think you have an understanding of mental illness. Listening to that music really helped me and it still does so I want to say thank you because you are one really talented artist. I'm 15 years old and plan to follow your tours as soon as my dad lets me haha. I don't know if you're going to read this.... but my dad wants to say somethin too. He's the one who introduced you to me. =) sorry this is so long!!
Thanks from me too, Randall. I've followed you since "That Other Mile." It's all great stuff.
ANSWER: Thanks, Kelly. We all have our own varieties of mental illness I guess. It's always good to have someone to share the crazies with. Songwriting is a way of doing that. Sounds like you've got a dad who cares about you a lot. One day maybe we'll play in your area. Good luck and thanks for the words about the songs. QUESTION: I caught the show in Madison last weekend and was blown away. Loved the sound of Geoff Achison's voice backing yours. And the new record is amazing. You Think You Know Somebody is worth a million dollars. Hope to catch you soon down Savannah way. Peace. ANSWER: thanks. I had a great time playing the shows with Geoff. See you in Savannah. QUESTION: A compliment. I saw you the first time when I was still in high school. You were playing with Terry "Mad Dog" Melton and the Laughing Disaster. Saddened to hear of Terrys passing. I always buy the records, but that wont make you rich. Look after yourself and sing and play as long as you like. Thanks for what you've already done. ANSWER: Thanks, Scott. I'm going to go as long as I can. Terry was one of a kind and an important part of my early years in Athens. We miss him. Thanks for all your support. I'm playing in Roswell at the Swallow at the Hollow tonight. Come over and see me. QUESTION: Thanks for a great show at Eddie's Attic. Loved seeing you solo at Crimson Moon a while ago, and a totally different experience with Geoff, Oliver, Yonrico, and Ted. Would have loved to hear even more of your material, but it was tons of fun. I'm on a quest to hear/see every recording of Queen of England and experience it live many more times. Keep on crooning and strumming that bluesy lullaby from the cane fields! :) ANSWER: Thanks, Jay. I'll keep doing that thing that I do. QUESTION: Hey Randall
Got our tickets to the Swallow show on June 19th. I am excited to see you & Tommy together. I hope you do some of the old Cowboy songs. Join us at teh lake when you are through this way...darrell & rae ANSWER: I'll ask Tommy about the Cowboy songs. See you at the Hollow. QUESTION: Not a question, a compliment. Thanks for "The Meantime." I listen to at least a few tracks everyday. I love it. With this album and all your previous ones, you've given me many, many hours of listening pleasure. Thanks. On second thought, a question: Any plans to visit Chicago? ANSWER: thanks, Steve. I'm glad you like the new one. Sorry, but no plans right now to visit Chicago. Sign up on our email list to see where we'll be playing and thanks! QUESTION: I see that you are scheduled for Durham N.C. on 7/17/10. Is that with the band, solo or duo. Just curious.Thanks ANSWER: Hey, Tom. I think that's a band gig. See you there. QUESTION: Hi Randall
always loved the Sea Level instrumentals - I found Neil Larsen's "Minight Pass" on his "Full Moon" album - but where did Sea Level get his "Grand Larceny" tune from?: Do you know if he ever recorded it?
I have an audio of Sea level doing it recorded by the BBC at the Capricorn Picnic
All the best Craig ANSWER: sorry, craig, but I can't answer that one. I imagine that Chuck or Jimmy found that song and decided to record it. QUESTION: Hi
I'm a big fan and think I have all your releases since Sea Level. I've just ordered "...40 watt" and "The Meantime". But I just have to mention that I think 60 USD is some prize, because I happen to live in Denmark, is some price.
Apart from that, great music...
All the very best, Simon ANSWER: Thanks, Simon. Sorry for the high cost to Denmark. I'll check on lowering that if I can.
Glad to have you as a listener. QUESTION: I heard you live last night for the first time, and was so inspired. I am wondering if your lyrics are available for us to view online.
There is so much cliche and banal music out there these days. Your music and words are anything but...!
Thanks for doing what you do!
ANSWER: Hi Betty. Thanks very much for the kind words. I think you can get Now It's Tomorrow booklet with lyrics as a download from this site. The others are not online but in the CD packages. Thanks and see you again I hope. QUESTION: We had a great time at The Melting Point Friday night. Hearing the band play Are You Satisfied was the highlight of my evening. Will you be playing that song again anytime soon? You know how I feel about all of you. Love ya,
ANSWER: Hey, Fran. Loved seeing you if only briefly at the show. Yes, we'll keep playing Satisfied, especially if you're there. See you soon? QUESTION: Was watching some old video on YouTube when you were with Steve Winwood. The live concert from the 80's was the most awesome ever. You play a mean sax! Checked your web site and was thrilled to see your CDs are available. Love the new song that is now featured on the site. Hope to see you in Columbus sometime soon. All my best to you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ANSWER: Thanks, Dan. Hope to see you too.

Hope the Jam grows even more next year. Keep dreamin QUESTION: Randall,
Just got your updated tour schedule and was thrilled to see you're in Birmingham on the 4th of june. I will see you there. ANSWER: Great Steve. Should be fun. It will be a 3 piece acoustic group
in B'ham. See you there. QUESTION: Saw the question below and had to write. I too am a Hokie who saw you and your band at 117 in Blacksburg in the 70's. You will not recall, but I also arranged to do an interview with you on an old cassette recorder to play on the campus FM radio station. I worked at the station and discovered you music in the station's extensive album collection. Some years later, I purchsed the albums with Sea Level and then discovered the website a couple of years ago and have most of the new material, which is wonderful. I recently spoke with Leslie and scheduled a house concert September 11. Will look forward to meeting you again. Hopefully, there will be enough interest in our area soon to warrant a visit with the band--would love to hear all the keys and sax live once again. Jim ANSWER: Thanks for keeping up, Jim. I'm really looking forward to coming back to Blacksburg. Maybe we can build something up there. QUESTION: We spoke the other night at your great Norfolk show. I'm one of the old guys from back in the 70s in Blacksburg and 117. Just wondering.....is there any way to get piano sheet music for your songs? I would love to sit down and learn some of the stuff, and will be doing so, but the sheet music may help the learning curve. Thank you. ANSWER: Hi Walter. I don't think there's a way right now to get the sheet music. You'll just have to figure it out by ear I guess. Great talking to you in Norfolk. QUESTION: no question, Just wanted to say that I am a huge new fan, just discovered you recently via the WSP DVD of the show you did with them in Austin, You played 'Get In Get Out' and It really made my duck quack! I had to get on Amazon and buy a copy of each of your albums. Spreadin' the word in the Pacific NW, come see us some time! Gary ANSWER: Thanks, Gary. Quack Quack! QUESTION: Randall,
Fantastic solo show @ Electric City Playhouse
last Fri. Night. Small crowd but a large time was had by all! ANSWER: Thanks, Dan. I think it's a great room. I'll come back again and we'll see if we can get more people out. See you soon. QUESTION: Thanks Randall for the listening room concert in Norfolk and for playing " The grand scheme of things". Even on the (Hammond) it was very moving. I am still shocked you pulled off some of those funky songs on acoustic! I know you don't get up this way very often but just know that it is appreciated. Keep on livin' the dash! ANSWER: Thanks, Tom. I really enjoyed the night. Great and responsive crowd. I hope I'll be back before too long. Maybe a house concert. QUESTION: Release date of 'The Meantime' in the UK or from Amazon/play.com? ANSWER: Should be on Amazon but not in UK yet. QUESTION: Played sax with you and JoJo at the Howlin Wolf in NOLA. Have been a fan of your work as a sideman and leader for years and years. Looking forward to your Nashville show at Music City Roots!
Best,
Max ANSWER: Thanks, Max. That was a really great night. Wild Indians! See you in N'ville. QUESTION: earlier in the spring, you had a 7/25 or 7/25 date up for bele chere in asheville.
is that still happenin'?
enjoying ''the meantime''. good to have another way to showcase your talent. ANSWER: Thanks, John. Yes, we're still playing Bele Chere on 7/25. See you there. QUESTION: Randall,
Who is the second person doing backing vocals on the video? There is only one persons name given on the website. I am so excited that the full band is coming back to Greensboro - can't wait!!
Mark
ANSWER: That was Charles Bullock. He sings with Adam in Elton John's choir. We've got to get him the credit on the website. QUESTION: Randall,
It was good to see you in Savannah last night. Thanks for playing Get In Get Out for my boys. It made their night and they were so glad to finally get to see you play. I'll catch up with you soon. ANSWER: Good seeing you too. Hope they dug it! QUESTION: Randall,
Your tour page shows you @ Electric City Playhouse 5/7
in Anderson, SD. I sure hope that's a misprint. We're looking forward to seeing you that night, at that venue in Anderson, South Carolina.
Can't wait. ANSWER: Yes, that would be a long drive. See you in SC. QUESTION: Not a question.
Just to say that my husband and I saw you tonight in Savannah at Loco's. The venue was terrible - noisy and, I felt, very disrespectful of the music. We have been fans since we say you about 40 years ago at Between the Hedges in Athens, GA (we were living in Madison at the time). We have purchased your albums since then, and have really enjoyed your live performances over the years.
I almost feel as though I should apologize for Locos (noise, talking patrons). We did purchase your new album, listened to it on the drive home, and I know I will listen to it again and again. Your music is wonderful. It is one of life's true pleasure to hear you - especially in person.
ANSWER: Thanks, so much Katherine. It was noisy but I really appreciated the fans that came out. Loco's has not been known as a "listening" venue but it may change. Thanks again for your kind words. QUESTION: One more question (don't mean to be a pest): are your first two albums available on CD anywhere? These would be the ones from mid-70s; one had the original version of King Grand and the other I had on vinyl but wore it out, plus my turntable broke.
ANSWER: Yes, but they're in production now. I should have them in a few weeks. Check the website for availability. Thanks. QUESTION: No question. just to let you know that there's a new radio station in Dallas/Fort Worth: KKXT http://kxt.org/
It's a public radio station but they play a very eclectic list of music. I think your stuff would fit in there. The night show "undercurrents" -- I would describe what they play as: singer/songwriters who are too good to make it onto commercial radio -- like you. And they do solicit new music. If you're too modest to send your stuff to them, I'll be glad to do it.
You're from Jesup, I'm from Brunswick. spent 69-81 in Athens, so saw you many times, from the Jekyll Island Aquarama to Sea Level.
dm ANSWER: Hey, David. Thanks for the info on KKXT. I will get CDs sent to them right away. Glad you're still with us after all these years. I'm doing a show in Darien this weekend and will be
on St. Simons later next month. Can't get too far away it seems... QUESTION: Is the Norman Park show open
to the public? Who do I need
to get in touch with?
Great set at Wanee! ANSWER: Yes, it is. Call Quailridge in Norman Park and ask for John Norman. QUESTION: Didn't you play "The Grand Scheme of Things" at the Morton Theater gig in 1995?
Anyway, I've been bugged by the lyric for "Runway" (don't know the real title).."I'll be out on the runway..." Is it "waiting" or "waving"? We're looking forward to seeing you in Roswell, not at the solo gig but at the concert series date in August...love to hear "That Other Mile" again... ANSWER: Hey, John. I did play Grand Scheme at the Morton. Good memory. It's "waiting" and we'll play "Mile" at Roswell. See you there! QUESTION: Randall:
Hadn't heard back from Leslie T. RE: Location/Ticketing for your 5/9 show in Norfolk and possible availability for another booking or house concert. I could have gotten her email incorrect, but just wondering if you might have another option to catch-up to her. My email is grismartin@aol.com. Thanks and looking forward to your show(s).
Grey ANSWER: Hey, Grey. I'll forward this to Leslie right now. I'd love to do a house concert up there. QUESTION: What a great show at Wanee. Something very special happening on stage that we got to share with you, RBB but especially between you, Chuck and Davis. Please tell me the name of the closing tune and who recorded it? Did I miss on an old SeaLevel album? I'd come home to Jesup if you would play the Rec Center again. :) Thanks for keeping on... ANSWER: Hey, Carlton. That was a special show. We all thought so. The last song of the set was "Compared to What" by Eddie Harris and Les Mcann. QUESTION: no real question just very excited about yall coming gld we could work this out. David beard has been really helpful contacting you and John Kerne Strawberry Flats played a couple of weeks agoo it was great so we have you on thursday liocal band Friday tim Miller band from valdosta sat and renegade bluegrass with rollin in the hay sunday nice lineup looking forward to meeting you check out our website at www.gnatslanding.com a great "shithole" ANSWER: Hi Boz. We're looking forward to it too. Always love to come back to the island. See you there. Let Nancy or Leslie know what promo you need from us. Posters, etc. QUESTION: When are you going to make it up to the Northwest? ANSWER: Hi Marshelle. We'd love to come out there. Maybe if we get enough radio play somewhere in Oregon we could do a show. Otherwise, it's hard to draw a crowd and get a venue to pay us enough to get there. QUESTION: Just wondering where you and your family are originally from...and if we are related.Our family has a website.. http://www.bramblett.com/main.htm
Thanks and take care
Gerry
www.bramsbones.com ANSWER: Hey. We're probably related. My grandfather was from Cumming but all came from VA originally.
I'll check your site. There's a Bramblett Family History site too. QUESTION: Randall, great new CD! And thanks a million for the free mp3 (Driving to Montgomery)! Great stuff! ANSWER: Hi David. Glad you like it! Come see us at the Melting Point on May 21. We'll play the record for you. QUESTION: Hi Randall,
I see you're playing "Locos" in Savannah. I clicked the link and see that there are two locations. Do you know which one?
Thx! ANSWER: Downtown. QUESTION: "The Meanwhile" is absolutely gorgeous! Y'all must be so proud. Can you tell us a little bit about the genesis of "The Grand Scheme of Things"? How you wrote it, what you were thinking of, that kind of thing. Thanks so much! ANSWER: Hi Lana. That song was written about 10 years ago. It was just one of those loss and yearning pictures that comes up once in a while. Nothing biographical just lost love and hoping for something more. It's one of my favorites too. Come to the Melting Point on May 21 and we'll play it for you. QUESTION: I was thinking I saw a date for Home Team BBQ on Sullivan's Island later this summer. Is that still on the agenda? ANSWER: Hey. I think that is still on for July 18. Check our tour info to make sure. Thanks. QUESTION: Hey Randall....Got tickets and my wife and I are driving down from Virginia to see you and your band with Chuck Levell at the Hawkinsville Opera House. I know you and Chuck go back a long way, so I'm sure you have a lot of music to choose from for the set list. Will we hear a lot from the Sea Level days?? Will you be playing more sax since I'm sure Chuck will be able to cover the keys pretty good for y'all...lol? I've heard the format will be You and your band opening with a set and then Chuck joining y'all after a break....is that accurate?? Been looking forward to this gig since I got the tickets 2 months ago!! ANSWER: Hi Greg. Glad you'll be coming to Hawkinsville. Yes, we'll be doing some Sea Level songs and I'll be playing a lot of sax. We are playing a set of RBB stuff and then Chuck will come on and do another set of his own with us backing. Have fun and see you there. QUESTION: Howdy Cousin Randall,
So...I put it off and put it off & this morning the thought crossed my mind "go to Randall's site and buy a CD copy of 'Light of the Night' and 'That Other Mile'. Bummed to find it out of stock. Are there any plans to re-stock the set? I've still got my original albums stashed away, but new copies without surface noise would be so excellent to have.
BTW, Bren & I are trying to schedule a trip back east to visit Jim & Susanne in Macon and am hoping to schedule the trip at a time when we can come catch you & the band somewhere in the area. Hope all is well & please pass along a "HiYa" to Davis.
As Always...... Scotty ANSWER: Hey, Cuz. Good to hear from you. We're off to play with Chuck this week. Just like the old days, eh? I'm getting some of the early CDs done now and they should be ready in a week or so. Stay tuned and take care. QUESTION: Saw your "Driving to Montgomery" video and liked the look & sound. Had you ever thought of pitching your song about "Shining Birmingham" to that Alabama city? It seems if you could use this style, or something similar, it would make a great promo song for that city. You sound great...keep it up!!!!!
Also, was in New Orleans in March and saw Isaac on his cell stroll by the outside of the enclosed eating area window at Cafe du Monde and chased him down the street to converse with him. Boy was he surprised!?!?! ANSWER: Hey, Dana. Good idea to pitch that to B'ham. I'll see what I can do. Hope y'all are doing well and we miss seeing you. I saw Isaac and family in Gulf Shores last weekend. It was fun. He's got a BIG family now and seems to love it. Love to Sherroo. QUESTION: Hi Randall, what a great show last week at Eddie's Attic. I enjoyed the new songs very much, and the new CD is fabulous! I liked that you put the video to Driving to Montgomery on your web site, I plan to turn on a few friends to your music with that video. Keep up the great work! ANSWER: Thanks, David. I had fun that night too. QUESTION: Hi, Randall!~
I am very happy you have released a new CD. I saw you more than a few years back when you were playing with Traffic in Atlanta. I was a fantastic show! Hope to get to see the show in Savannah. Do you still go on tour with Traffic? ANSWER: Hi Kathy. I'm not playing with Traffic anymore. Just working on my own career. Come up and say hello in Savannah and let me know how you like the new CD. QUESTION: Strawberry Flats were in town last weekend and they gave me a copy of "The Meantime"...restores my faith in humanity and the industry. It's an honor knowing you Randall. See you at Quailridge...David ANSWER: Hey, Man! I got your number from John Keane the other day because I wanted to call you and talk about a gig down your way.
I'll call you tomorrow. Glad you like the CD. QUESTION: Randall:
I see where you are playing in Norfolk on 5/9 @ The Waterfront Park Listening Room. Not really sure what that is, but I guess it's somewhere around Town Point Part/ Waterside. 1st Question:
Can you clarify where the venue is and how to get tics? 2nd: Looks like you've got some open dates around that time. Any interest in a House Concert and what would you charge? Caught the band last year at the Jewish Mother and saw you with a handful of folks at Ashland C&T a few months ago. Really great! Let me know, wouldya?
Thanks,
Grey ANSWER: Hi Grey. I will get you the info and talk about the house concert too. Sounds like it could work. Can you email my manager Leslie Turner at lestea@mindspring and then she'll forward to me. We can talk then and she can also give the info for the Norfolk gig. Thanks. QUESTION: Hey Randall,
I was wondering if you could bring some of your new CD by Wuxtry whenever you get a chance? Thanks! John ANSWER: I'm sorry for the delay on getting some to you. We were waiting on Junket boy to order but I'm ready to bring them myself. QUESTION: Hey Randall!
"Drivin' to Decatur" (not exactly Montgomery, but it'll do)with a friend from UPUCC for the CD release party at Eddie's on Friday. Lookin' forward to celebrating "The Meantime" with you and one hell of a show.
PS: Don't ya'll think it's about time for a best of the RBB double CD?
ANSWER: Hey, Andy. I didn't read this before I saw you. Hope you enjoyed the show. You made quite an effort to be there. Yes, time for a "best of" CD soon. See you in Raleigh I hope. QUESTION: I just felt inspired to let you know that the new disc is beyond words. I have played it every day for two solid weeks. I haven't had one hit me like this in a while. I have always said you know what you have when you strip it down. Your material more than stands up to the test. Do us all a favor and keep the fire burning.

Don't you get tired of playing the south and see the rest of the country? ANSWER: Hi Alan.

Hey, do not know if you will remember me. I was Issac's 7th grade history teacher at Athens Academy. Stumbled back onto you thru wmvy,Martha's Vineyard, the greatest radio station on the web. They are playing a tune off your album. Won't take up too much of your time, but wanted to check in with you and see how Issac was doing. One of my favorite memories of my 3 years teaching was when we had Issac lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington's National Cemetary. Please give him my best and let me know if you are planning to play up here in Baltimore or DC anytime this summer or fall.
All the best,
John ANSWER: Hi John. I remember that now. Thanks for taking them on that important trip. Isaac is living in New Orleans with his family of 5 children. 2 are his biologically.

Hope your new year is off to an encouraging start. Do you have a release date on the new solo CD? We're working on finding a time to have you back down to Raleigh and I'd love to do it soon after the new CD is released.
Thanks!
Anderson D. Orr ANSWER: Hey, Andy. The release is in early March. It would be great to do another show with you. Just let me know. QUESTION: Randall,

Robert

Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that Santa is good to you. Looks like we are going to get to see you twice in March. It's going to be a lot of fun....darrell ANSWER: Thanks, Darrell. See you in March. QUESTION: Living and studying in Kullu, Valley of the Gods - about 4.5k' above sea level - surrounded by high peaks, some of which eclipse 20k'. Yeah, it's high-altitude country!
Would love to see mainstream music groov' up to RBB. You're the real deal, and this ol' changin' world is surely ready for a healthy helpin'! Please, DO keep providin'!

Dattaa ANSWER: Thanks, and I'll tell them. QUESTION: Hi Randall! Just hello from your longtime swissfan! I've just got your " Live at the 40 Watt" from Mike! I love it!! Best wishes, merry Christmas and a happy new Year ( perhaps with a Europe Tour )!!
Willi with Daniele ANSWER: Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been having computer problems. Great to hear from you both. I hope I'll get to see you sometime before too long. Since I'm not with Winwood anymore, I don't get over to Europe. I'll have a new CD out in Feb. Have a great New Year and thanks for staying in touch. QUESTION: caught the gig at eddie's attic last nite. man it was great! as i mentioned in passing, i have a tremendous amount of respect for you and your music hope you enjoy the jack tempchin c.d. i played on track #7 . all the best to you and yours during the holiday season. always a fan, from the road, dave james. a.f.m. local #7. ANSWER: Thanks, Dave. It was a great time for me too. I'm going to give the CD a listen this weekend. QUESTION: Randall, I have a question regarding your touring schedule for the band. From your website it appears there's a lot of interest in people being able to see you guys live. Is it possible to tour the U.S. on a small scale playing smaller venues these days? It would be great to see you out here in LA. Thaks for all the great music through the years. ANSWER: Hi Steve. The way it can work for me is if I can do acoustic shows a smaller venues and house concerts to help cover expenses. That's been working around the south and up the east coast. The band is just too expensive to go far with. Maybe we can arrange a solo or duo California run. Know anyone who wants to do a house concert? Thanks for your interest. QUESTION: Hey Randall
Do you have any plans to play with Steve Winwood again
Realy enjoyed you with Steve and Traffic
ANSWER: Hi Roger. Sorry no plans with Steve. I loved playing with him and Traffic but we're on different paths right now. QUESTION: While surfing the internet this a.m., I somehow or another ran across your interview done with Living Legends of Music. Over the past 30 years, I wondered what had become of you. I was one of the employees / crowd at the small club in Athens called The Hedges below Allen's Hamburgers in Normal Town. That's where I came to know your earlier work, danced to your and Davis'live performances along with the late Terry Melton, and attended Sunday afternoon gatherings at your house in Five Points. I'm glad to see that you are still around and are doing well. I still have my vinyl copies of Light of the Night and That Other Mile, but haven't been able to listen to them for years. Moving day 20 years ago, inept movers and the age of my turntable for replacement parts was the death of playing my vinyl collection. Again, glad to see that you are doing so well. Best of luck and best wishes to you and yours. ANSWER: Thanks very much, Christine. QUESTION: 30 years ago I serendipitously taped a song off the radio, and the words, melody and arrangement have haunted me ever since. I transcribed it as best I could at the time, but I didn't know the name of the song or the performers, and there was no one I knew who recognized the lyrics or the melody (as best I was able to play it). Over the last 15 years, probably at least 4-5 times each year, I've used lengthy phrases from my transcription as search terms in Google, all to no avail. Within the last month, about 10 or 15 pages into yet another Google search, my brain nearly exploded in a massive 'rush' as I saw the phrases for which I'd been looking these last 3 decades. It was your song This Could Be the Worst. And now I've found a CD (Best of Sea Level) and it feels almost like a vital gap has finally been filled. The song is as powerful to me now as it was when I first heard it. But I still can't fully trust my own ears about a few of the lyrics. I don't know how much room this question box will allow me, but can I ask you to "proof" the following? I apologize if I've made silly errors. I'll put my email in your subscribers list and cross my fingers, toes, testicles and guitar strings hoping this missive gets a welcome reception. Thank you for the music. I'll now be looking for the rest of your work.
THIS COULD BE THE WORST.
All our lives we learn of the rise and the progress of man; how he rose out of his sleep into the light of Reason. We learn how we will conquer the world, with just the power of our mind; how all myth and superstition were left far behind. Of all the lies that I’ve heard, of all the cruel, cruel tricks that have been played, of all the plague sent down upon this earth, this could be the worst.
Now the sun takes its turn, while the moon is hidden (and the Spring ......?), and the beast of the ocean is ignored, half my soul is dying. Apollo God reigns unchecked, while the earth man slaves in the heat, but in the night I can’t help it, God I dream of freedom.
Of all the lies that I’ve heard, of all the cruel, cruel tricks that have been played, of all the plague (?pain) brought down upon this earth, this could be the worst.
Now that Reason in its glory, has finally shown us what is real, the few visions that arise are just called illusions. The asylums are overflowing, with those who can’t face what they see, but out here on the street we just smile and keep on walking. Of all the lies that I’ve heard, of all the cruel, cruel tricks that have been played, of all the plague brought down upon this earth, this could be the worst. This could be the worst, this could be the worst, this could be the worst.
ANSWER: Boy, you're determined! You never know what a song will mean to different people. You have most of it right but it should be "plagues sent down" , "the spring is capped", "half my soul is hiding","plagues sent down"
Thanks for all your work to learn this song. Guess I'll have to start playing it... QUESTION: Just wanted to say I've been a huge fan since Sea Level's Ballroom album. To me, the band composition at that time was perfect! (Wonder what ever happened to Matt Greely?) After learning you hail from Jessup and the name of your first band was King David and the Slaves, I couldn't help but wonder if the "David" may have referred to my cousin David Harper? ANSWER: Hey, Randy. Thanks for contacting me. Unfortunately Matt died a few years ago and the David was Davis Harris from Jesup. See you. QUESTION: hey randall -- every once in a while i dig out my old favorite albums and put them on the turntable, and tonight (thanksgiving eve), i put on the other mile and damn! that is one great album. tonight was the first time i googled you and i'm so glad you've been playing and making music all these years. i saw you way back in the 70's with cowboy out in jersey at a place called the joint in the woods and peter frampton showed up wasted and you guys had to say "e peter, we're playing in e".
i'm back on board now and will make it a point of seeing you live again. maybe i'll make a road trip down to your neck of the woods, or maybe you'll come up and play with levon at one of his rambles -- they are quite a scene.
anyway-- here's to you.
cheers
ANSWER: Hi Matt. What a memory you have. Peter trashed? Maybe we were too. I remember the Joint. We had a lot of fun back then and still are. Come see us sometime down South. Tell Levon hey for me. QUESTION: when will you be jamming with widespread panic again? ANSWER: it's always a surprise. don't want to ruin it. watch for something special... QUESTION: been a fan since being introduced to davis causey and harold williams at GiGi's pizza parlor in athens@1975. double on guitar and keys. member of local #7. was fortunate to hang out with the late great jim capaldi in nashville during the far from home tour. he said some great things about you and your music. i tend to agree. my question; how deep is the list of subs for the R.B.B. thanx for your time and your music. on the road; i remain a friend and fan of the music. dave lamar james ANSWER: thanks for contacting me. We miss Jim a lot. The sub list is way deep but we'll keep you in mind. Take care. QUESTION: No questions. I just want to say how grateful I am that I found such an intense lyricist with passages so eloquent I find myself smiling. It's like an old friend is sharing with me around a kitchen table late at night. I found about you from listening to Pandora. I went in search of your music and got lucky after going to two record shops. I finally it in my own backyard at Recycled Records on Haight. I've been listening for days now. I guess I'll have to break down and go to I tunes to get the rest. Oh Yeah! I'm hooked. ANSWER: Thank you Gail. Glad to have a West Coast fan! I really appreciate your kind words. Hope to see you sometime in San Francisco. QUESTION: Randall, Speaking of Raleigh... a truly amazing solo acoustic performance at UPUCC. I knew it would be good, but not THAT good! What is the actual title of the "grand scheme of things" song you did at the piano? Is this new and will it, as well as the other piano songs you played, be on the new CD? ANSWER: Thanks, Andy. I really enjoyed that night too. What a great audience for songwriter to play for. The song is The Grand Scheme of Things and you will have it shortly. It's a few years old but never recorded. The other one is Driving to Montgomery and it will be on the new CD too. The other 2 you probably know from my first CD. See you soon I hope. QUESTION: When are you returning to the Raleigh area? Your music touched my soul. You are very talented and humble. ANSWER: Thanks so much. I had a really great time there. Everything felt loving and spiritual somehow. I'm not sure when I'll be back. Do you want to have a house concert? That's one way to make sure I'll be there. See you soon I hope. QUESTION: Dear Mr.Bramblett--somewhere there is an early track of video tape that was shown on channel eight in Athens, about the time your first two albums came out. In the video, you had a big old afro, and were playing the organ, I believe. Is this available anywhere? The tape, I mean, not the afro or the organ. Also, what do you think of John Barleycorn Must Die? Somehow, all of this interconnects. ANSWER: Love John Barleycorn and we are planning on putting that show on a website soon. It is really something. Wish I had the hair again... QUESTION: Whatever happend to the second album you recorded with Roger Glover? I thought I heard it was almost finished, and then it disappeard. ANSWER: That's a good question. Last I heard he was still working on it. I think he's been busy with touring and a new baby. QUESTION: Your work just keeps getting better and better.
Fond greetings from a life long fan - ANSWER: Hey, Burney. Thanks for the compliment. How is it down there? Do you ever get over this way? QUESTION: Randall,
Thanks for a great show at the house of blues and especially for the picture with my two youngsters. Can you provide any details about your solo show in Raleigh on the 25th? ANSWER: Sorry I'm late on replying. Hope you made it to the Raleigh show...it was really fun. I'll be back. QUESTION: any relation to bonnie bramlett? ANSWER: Nope. She married Delaney and the name's spelled differently too. QUESTION: How cool it must have been to be on stage with Bonnie at the HOB the other night. Your set was rockin. Then Bonnie brings you guys onstage in an apparently spontaneous decision to play an unreheared verson of Bad Case of Loving You as the final encore. Man that was amazin. Did you enjoy that as much as we did? ANSWER: It was really great. Definitely unrehearsed on my part. We always have a ball playing with her. She's so sweet and supportive. See you down the line somewhere. QUESTION: Thanks for coming to the Myrtle Beach House of Blues this past Saturday night. Your set was great, and your work with Bonnie was much enjoyed! Come on back anytime! ANSWER: Thanks. Hope to be at SXSE soon. QUESTION: Hey Randall,
Just discovered your superb songs and extra-special musical sense through Bonnie's version of 'God was in the Water' and her appreciation for you! Halleluah - I may be late to the party but better late... Suffice, love your stuff!!!
Feels like your time has finally arrived! And worth watin' for too!
Hope I get to see you & RBB live sometime soon. I've watched ALL your YouTubes over and over - keep 'em comin'! What a great band - contagious grooves, tasty chops and high octane rhythms!
One quickie - what brand/model of e-gtr is Mike Hines playin' in the Inman Park YouTubes from last summer? Love the tone he gets. Sounds like a sustainiac pup in the neck position?
In fact, you and everyone in RBB are just great, great players. The dedication and passion come through loud and clear.
Keep it rollin' RB!
Any plans to tour Northern India?
Dattaa ANSWER: Thanks you very much. Great to have a new fan in India. Where are you exactly? I'll ask Hines about his guitar. Take care.
Dattaa,
My guitar is a Tele neck with a Warmouth (Swamp Ash) body. The middle and neck pickups are off of a late 80's Strat and the bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Tele. Hope this helps.
Mike QUESTION: Wow! Isn't it amazing where life leads us if we just let it? If you can believe it I have now been working in mental health for 20+ yrs doing community mh with mentally ill folks and I still love it! Also wanted to let you know that I've become acquainted with a mutual friend - Bill W - for the past 10yrs and looking back, I suspect you were trying to "introduce" me back when we were in school. Just wanted to say thanks! :) ANSWER: That's great. It's always a thrill to hear from a friend of Bill's and someone who loves doing the work with those in need. See you in Raleigh? QUESTION: Listen--this question's a bit time sensitive, but is nonetheless important:
I got a monkey, a chimp really, stuck in this here jar. He don't know enough to get out, and I need this jar for canning pickles--I only got so many jars, you know?
Any ideas as to how I can extricate this monkey (he goes by the name of "Rabbit") from this jar? We're coming up on the holidays, and I'm all the time giving pickles as stocking stuffers. I tried greasing him up (that was the FIRST thing I did), but he commenced to mewling, pitching and roughhousing in the jar.
Lemme know what you got, RB! ANSWER: Dear, Snopes. Good to hear from you. I'm afraid you need professional help (in oh, so many ways). I've only dealt with the "monkey in the jar syndrome" a few times in my long career. All times have led to disaster. Have you tried bananas? QUESTION: Hi Randall! You probably don't remember me, but we were in MSW school together at UGA. I heard an announcement on NPR this morning about your upcoming concert here in Cary with Bonnie Raitt and wanted to tell you how nice it was to hear of your success. I hope I can get to the concert to see the show. By the way, did you ever come back to school after you left on tour with Steve Winwood? Always wondered about that! Wishing you contiued success! ANSWER: Hi Sarah. Good to hear from you. A long time ago wasn't it? Yes, I finished school and did some SW at Family Counseling in Athens for a couple of years. I kept getting called for Winwood tours and eventually was able to go back to music full time and here I am. See you in Cary. QUESTION: No question, just wan't you to know that you are greatly appreciated. Keep on.
Love ya!
Wish you all the best.
ANSWER: Thanks very much, Nettie. QUESTION: No question; just wanted to tell you what a great show you and Chuck Leavell put on in Memphis tonight. I was in school in Athens in '75 and remember seeing you hanging at The Last Resort. I couldn't believe it when I saw that you were coming to Memphis!!! So, I brought my 17 year old son with me to the show. He loved it. Thanks for all the great music. ANSWER: You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. QUESTION: No Question. Just wanted to let your who band know what an honor it was to work for ya'll, and pray it will someday happen again. I can't imagine a greater group of people to work with, THANK YOU!

QUESTION: Randall, please consider asking your web master to reword the statement, "All the RBB shows with Bonnie Raitt have been... When I saw the word "rescheduled" a double sized shot of panic froze up all my rational cognitive functions! I thought, "Oh NO! Not again! I held on to the damn good seats I got for the March, now October, show in Asheville and I can't wait any longer!" I wanted to weep! It took me a couple of minutes to realize I'd misread the statement. But never-the-less, I'm tellin ya, I'm gettin' too old for such frights. ANSWER: I'll ask them to change it. Thanks. QUESTION: Thanks for putting the live CD on the website!!! Please come back to Greensboro sometime. ANSWER: You're welcome. Hope to see you in G'boro. QUESTION: I am part of a group of UGA alumni from the '70s who are working on nominating Rev. Pearly Brown (blind street musician) to the GA Music Hall of Fame. Are you familiar with his music? If so, would you be willing to write a letter of support for us to include in the packet? Also, Rev. Brown opened for Bonnie Raitt in 1974. Is there any way to get info to her. I can send info on Rev. Brown to you through www.myspace.com/revpearlybrown ANSWER: Hi Juana. John English has contacted me about this and I will be glad to help if I can.

Used to come hear you play every time you were at "117 South Main" in Blacksburg way back in the 70's. You always packed the house! kduncan55@hotmail.com ANSWER: Those were some fun times. Blacksburg is a great town. See you in Myrtle Beach and thanks for staying in touch with us over all this time. QUESTION: randall, i heard it on a 'compilation' disc. wouldn't it be cool if at a live concert you do in an acoustically fabulous spot, that ya'll just burn the cd right then and sell it, talk about making memories, i'd buy it on the spot. wouldn't that be doable? ANSWER: Sounds doable. We'll look into it. QUESTION: Hi Randall,
Has your show with Chuck Leavell been moved from the Bama Theater in Tuscaloosa to the Alabama Theater in Birmingham? I saw it still listed on the Bama schedule, but not the Alabama. I hope to see you at either place.
Take care,
Wayne ANSWER: Hi Wayne. I haven't heard about that. I'll be looking into it. See you at one or the other. QUESTION: been a fan forever...i'm 57

dave weinheimer
acenutsi@aol.com ANSWER: Hey, Dave. Where's pgh? PA? Anyway, if we can't get the band up there I could do a house concert for you solo or duo. I've been doing them a lot lately. Levon's thing sounds good too. I get up in your area every once in a while. Thanks for being such a loyal fan for such a long time! QUESTION: Randall great show last night, thank you so much, you and Mike really compliment each other. so where can i get 'burn for someone' ? that is the tune i heard that has the awesome guitar on it, i couldn't remember the title last night. one of these days i will hear the whole band live. ANSWER: Hi Terri. I'm glad you liked the show. Burn for Someone is on "See Through Me" but doesn't have guitar on it I don't think. The live version does...
We'll figure it out. Where did you hear the song? QUESTION: Do you ever plan to play in Chicago? ANSWER: Hi, Jyley. We've played at the house of blues but nothing else with this band. Maybe one day... QUESTION: I finally got a decent turn-table and am joyfully playing this seven feet of vinyl been stuck in a closet. Just listened to Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys."

QUESTION: Randall -- another alumn of U of Miami band camp, summers of 63/64 -- back in the dawn of time! That camp was great fun for a kid from a small town in Fla (or, I imagine, from Jesup for that matter). I played with a band while at The Citadel that strikes me as similar to King David and the Slaves -- didn't Belushi and Akroyd steal our playlist and arrangements? Haven't picked up the trumpet in 40 years, but I still have fond memories of Coral Gables and the boys from Jesup (Butch Peede was my suitemate second year, great guy). I picked up a couple of your albums after I saw your site on the net -- great work, bud, great voice, great writing. Keep it up. Glad to see some of us are still at it (and doing it well, too) .... ANSWER: Hi Van. I remember you! It was a long time ago wasn't it. I have some good memories of those weeks each year. Thanks for keeping up with me. Maybe we'll me sometime. I travel to Fla. a good bit. See you. QUESTION: Did you have fun at the BBC? Heh.......We did!!!!!!!!!!!! When the band goes off like you did Friday night, well, wow, so do I. You make my hair stand straight out! Even Joe got up to dance, and he\'s very shy, as you could tell. So, how is that several leftys don\'t play backwards? Ambidextrous, you guys are! I am even more impressed. Love y\'all. ANSWER: Thanks, Ellen. We had a lot of fun too. We'll be back in January I think. See you. QUESTION: Randall,
Just a reminder that several of us fans have asked about buying the live CD (the one currently only available at shows) of your website. What's the word on that?
Thanks ANSWER: Hey, Mark. Sorry about the delay with the live CD. I will forward this to our manager and get you an answer. Thanks for reminding me. QUESTION: Hi Randall, I'm the first fan of yours from Poland here I hope. I have all the solo CD's, Rich Someday was my first one, but a CD of See Through Me was very hard to find - my favourite bunch of your songs are there. All your stuff are amazing. I admire also your sax work on albums of other southern artists. I just want You to know that music of RBB are heared also in Europe, in Poland even in national radio station! And finally my question: Are You in friendly relationship with Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes still? Do You see them often? thanks, Mariusz ANSWER: Thanks, Mariusz. I'm very honored to have a fan in Poland. I didn't know we were getting some radio play in your country. Very exciting. I'm still friends with Gregg and Warren but don't get to see them very much. Take care and spread the word in Poland for us. QUESTION: I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your show in Woodstock last Saturday. I hate to say, but the last time I saw you was with Sea Level at Lake Alice Field in Gainesville, I think it was 1978 and i'm pretty sure The Dixie Dregs were also playing that night. My good friend Mitch whose brother Sheffy was involved in The Georgia Theatre back in the old days has been trying to get me to see you for a while. So glad I finally did, the band was incredible! I look forward to seeing you again. |
